    The guy I got this car from only owned it from 176-184k and didn't have the means to maintain BMW. I haven't pulled a carfax but I suspect that I am the 4th owner and it would appear that owner #1 and #2 maintained it very well.

    Well done. Will you replace the headlight lenses ? That would improve the car appearance big time.

    Thanks Fredo! I replaced the left headlight last night with a used one from eBay. I didn't notice at first but the original one was shattered inside. Today Ill be restoring the lenses on both headlights and readjusting them. Can anyone here with factory Zenon lights tell me what height the headlight cutoff is from 5 feet away? Mine are all sorts of misadjusted so im looking for some sort of baseline.

    This morning I took it out for the first drive since all the work Ive posted. She drove perfect! Incredible ride quality, no strange noises, no surprises, just e46 driving bliss. Only thing I hate is the amount of smoke billowing out the tailpipe. The exhaust is soaked with oil inside due to the previous failed PCV and I know its going to take a few hundred miles to it all off. In the meantime just sucks see that oil cloud in the rearview. I feel bad for the people behind me.

    Headlights finished. Wash, clay bar, and wax coming up next. Stay tuned!

    Bilstein PSS. The standard kit, non-adjustable dampening. Really nice ride quality! Easily nice enough for daily driving yet very controlled when it needs to be.

    So far so good but Im only 50 miles post oil soak. No codes yet and I made sure I got at least 2 drive cycles on in today. That being said....I expect to see CAT codes and primary O2 sensor codes within the next 1000 miles or so. It will be a miracle if they survived!
